Perhaps, but given how MS ignores VFP, it's a good reference. Think what it could be if they gave it the attention it deserves? He does say "Yes, I can say good things about Microsoft products—when they really are good." So he's saying VFP is good, but then talks about using HSQLDB for "serious, server-based DBMS." Well, he's concentrating on the "free" aspect of things in this article and neither VFP, SQL Server, or Access are free, so even though HSQLDB is a free product, he considers it strong enough for serious work. We know that at some level of DB size, number of users, etc., we need to move past local tables to something like SQL.
>I guess ANY mention is good - but - still makes VFP sound like an inferior tool (IMO.)
